Female Athlete Nutrition: With Angelique Clark

I am so excited to welcome fellow Advanced Sports Dietitian, Angelique Clark to the podcast!

Angie is a female athlete nutrition expert and delivered so many gold nuggets in this episode. Historically a lot of sports nutrition research has been in the male population, so it’s exciting to see the explosion of female athlete papers published in the last 12 months. As an emerging area of research, Angie has her finger on the pulse to translate the deep science into practical nutrition advice.

In the episode we talked about:

• The menstrual cycle and how our hormones change across the month.
• What these changing hormones might mean for our nutrition across the cycle
• Some of the important nutrients for female athletes
• The importance of adequate energy availability
• Should women get different sport and exercise science advice or support than men?
• PLUS so much more!
